I respect what he's been able to accomplish at Lightweight in the style that he did it. He also outclassed the hell out of Gary Russell Jr, and that can never be overlooked imo. The movement toward "undisputed" started to get questionable tho.

He definitely could've taken that route.

He would've been too small lol.

Mayweather would have the physical advantages, having the bigger frame and a much better reach advantage than even Lopez did. BUT, I do think Loma would've given him some problems. Floyd was a killer at 130, but 135 is where we started to see the KO's slow down. That's even where many argue that he lost to Castillo in the first fight. In the second fight, he had a very "punch and grab" style. Loma's really good at beating people up when they're trying to clinch, so it would've been one helluva fight imo, especially if it happened before the first Castillo fight. I'd give the edge to Mayweather for his ability to adjust, but I don't even know if I'd have bet on that fight tbh.
